Amassed is a focused architectural study that evolves into a kaleidoscopic collage. Cho animates and layers richly saturated video frames of interior architectural elements, creating and collapsing geometric forms. Constant camera movements produce a destabilized and abstracted orchestration of images. The first half of the work unfolds in silence, and is then underscored by composer Arvo Pärt's Te Deum, performed by the Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir and the Tallin Chamber Orchestra.
